County attorneys are frequently
called upon to address constitutional issues, including issues
involving freedom of speech and religion, right to privacy,
and procedural and substantive due process. Litigation
attorneys appear at all levels in the state and federal court
systems. Advisory attorneys actively assist in reviewing,
interpreting, and drafting state legislation, and testifying
before various political tribunals. Our attorneys are also
active in local, regional, and statewide organizations, and
are often called upon to lecture on current legal issues and
teach trial advocacy.
